But it's easy enough to get the same visual result with an <html> root: <!DOCTYPE html> <title>...</title> <style> html { height:100% } body { height:100%; margin:0 } svg { display:block; width:100%; height:100% } </style> <svg ... So this use case doesn't seem too compelling for making <svg> as root in text/html. Another use case might be to allow text/html syntax for SVG images that are referenced from HTML <img> or CSS 'content'. Such images tend to be static, however, so probably don't suffer so much from XML's fragileness. -- Simon Pieters Opera Software
